Comment(by tibbe):

 Replying to [comment:1 kosmikus]:
 > As to the {{{--only-dependencies}}} flag. Perhaps I'm missing something,
 but I think I've never actually used it. Why should it suggest running
 that and not just suggest running {{{cabal install}}}?

 When developing a library `cabal install` isn't not what you want, as it
 would install some intermediate (i.e. unreleased) version of your library
 in a place where other libraries could start using it by misstake.
